Friend

This place is scary, and I need someone to guide me through the dark alleys of MB. Please adopt me.

I have no idea what it means, but I'll adopt you, Friend. Just don't embarrass me in front of the neighbors with your damn friends and their hijinks and whatnot.

Now where should we get started?

No clue. At all. But here's a good tip, the Shoutbox, a general chat thingy for all members, is at the very bottom of the page on the home page. That's a good way to get to know people and talk about whatever. Members frequently post links to our tinychat home, where we hang out, share songs, and talk about stuff. Sometimes we show off our ugly mugs on camera, sometimes not. I highly suggest using the shoutbox, makes it way easier to become a part of the community.

At the top of your page, right under the MB banner there is a "new posts" button. This is great, it shows you what threads are in current discussion and whatnot. Also allows you to quickly and easily see what's new, and see a bunch of threads you might never otherwise know about.

Hope that helps! Those are two things I wish someone had told me when I was a newb!
